The Enstrom 480'B' is a very good helicopter.
In the context of the R66, EC120, MD500, B206, etc, everyone will have their favourites, but the EN480'B' shouldn't be under-estimated, it has a lot of merits.
The basic design has a long lineage, but the 480 has the advantage (like the S269/300) of being originally developed as a military trainer - the TH-28 - and although it wasn't adopted by the US, it is in service around the world as a military turbine trainer.
It has a very strong and sophisticated, fully articulated rotor head, 'proper' cyclic controls, a substantial hydraulic undercarriage, an effective tail rotor, substantial build quality and a spacious, versatile cabin, with excellent visibility - all of which have, no doubt, contributed to the excellent safety record.
It's not the fastest - similar to a B206 - but it is very comfortable and amazingly tolerant in windy conditions. In strong winds it is surprisingly easy to fly and very stable.
It really isn't a 5-seater though - yes, it can be configured to seat five, but it's best as a 3-seater or 2+2. The front seats are very good (and adjustable) and the middle/rear seat is popular with passengers.
Reliability is good, maintenance is fairly straight forward, Factory support is generally excellent. Owners seem to love them, and the only issue seems to be the TT straps that need replacing every two years - hopefully a third party will resolve this with a cheaper, longer-lifed option.
There was a rumour that Enstrom are developing a bigger, 5-place, model with the RR500, elastomeric dampers and a few other tweeks.
